Pre-development testing was been carried out on 16 January 2008 within a section of the development corridor for the proposed Laois Towns and Villages Wastewater Improvement Scheme in Tullyroe townland, Abbeyleix, Co. Laois. This section of the development corridor was within c. 30–50m of the site of a possible enclosure LA023–037. One test-trench was excavated for 150m along the approximate line of the proposed pipeline route across a flat section of field under pasture. No archaeological features were exposed and no finds were recovered.
